I am proud to be a Democrat. Today, Democrats in the House and the Senate will join the President and announce our Patient Protection Act. Health care is something that every American should have. Our bill and our plan, unlike the other side's, protects every American, and it protects the doctor-patient relationships that Americans want to have with their doctor. It says that the professional will determine the length of stay and the type of procedure, and not the insurance company or the accountant. Today is a glorious day for American citizens. The Democratic Health Protection Act. Watch us as we pass it through this Congress. We are serious. We know you need it, and we will be there for you.
